1   Link   OPTIMIZE
Project Optimize, a collaboration between the World Health Organization (WHO) and PATH, has been given a unique mandate to think far into the future: to put technological and scientific advances to work, helping define the ideal characteristics and specifications for health products and creating a vaccine supply chain that is flexible and robust enough to handle an increasingly large and costly portfolio of vaccines. 		117
2   Link   UNICEF Innovation: Mobile & SMS
One of the biggest challenges facing UNICEF's field operations is access to accurate and timely information. With the recent proliferation of technology throughout the developing world, the ability to improve this access has become cheaper and the tools to do so, ubiquitous. Mobile phones have spread the fastest and farthest of all these technologies with the GSMA predicting that by 2010, 90% of the world will be covered by mobile networks. RapidSMS capitalizes on this change by integrating the instantaneous information transfer that mobile phones allow into established methods of UNICEF's work. 		138
